They plan to open 125 stores this year 3. CEO is a former rock star and the album has been the top sales. The star power will be Influential V4 下面文字出现在某财务分析员写给咨询公司老板的memo上 某后起的服装公司专门生产迎合年轻人潮流的牛仔裤等休闲衣物， 之前五年都是通过零售商销售的，销售连续增长。近这家公司准备建立自己的销售渠道，在商场里设自己直营的专卖店。我们建议客户马上去买他们的股票。 因为1.这家公司很有实力，管理很激进。2,他家CEO是一个有若干金曲的前摇滚明星，在年轻人里有知名度，可以保证销量和品牌效应。 V5 by ledazhou一个分析员给投资公司经理的memo：关于crow衣服公司，此公司自己生产了好多衣服什么的，在美国有好多店都帮这个公司卖。然后此公司打算expand business,主要是打算在美国全国开设自己的专门店。分析员建议投资公司immediately买此衣服公司的stock,说因为潜力很大– 衣服公司的拓展异化和管理人员的新战略。另外，此公司的ceo 是以前一个很有名的rock star，并且有出过很多hit的专辑，所以靠她的知名度可以更加成功。 思路： * 过去5年盈利不保证将来也会盈利，新的销售渠道的建立(改变销售渠道)可能会对销量产生负面影响 * 不充分：有实力管理激进不能推断出股东能获利 * 前摇滚明星有知名度有粉丝，但管理好公司还需要专业的CEO * 前摇滚明星不能保证在未来的一代青年人中一直保持高知名度 # 衣服卖得多了很可能是全国经济形势好了不一定跟他们公司产品质量好有关系。 # 在别人的outline卖得好他们自己可能不会管理卖的不一定好。 # 一个摇滚明星，还是过气的摇滚明星，要管理不一定会管理要人气没人气，这种人当CEO靠谱么? 以上就是2012年1月1日更新的GMAT作文机经AA部分，考生可以适当借鉴，并通过练习来掌握GMAT作文的解题规律，从而顺利通过GMAT考试。 GMAT考试已于12月27日更换题库，以下是2011年12月的GMAT作文AA部分机经更新，更新日期从11年12月27日起至12年1月1日，目前共39题。 2. BY宝宝和尚:5、V1 by rachelpzy说近因为对石油开采技术的要求下降，许多研发石油开采技术的公司都出现了利润下降和股票价格下降的问题。然后B.C.这个公司以前是从事石油开采技术研发的，为了规避风险避免损失什么的(大概是这个意思)，BC的manager采取了一个新的措施：让他们公司的scientist switch their to researches on renewable resources。(然后就是重点来了：)因为renewable energy成为现在一个booming的industry。许多从事研究利用renewable energy，比如说wind power, solar power和*** (具体名字不记得了)等power的公司 have been successfully developed in recent years. Thus, BC的manager认为，如果他们这个新的strategy will successfully put the profit and stock prices in a safe place from any future decline. 考古： Due to the decline demand of the mining technology, all the related corporations are suffering form decline of profit and sales this year, including Blastcom Corporation. Blastcom Corporation is considering adopting one growth strategy: to shift some of the researchers from mining technology to the renewable energy technology, the demand for the renewable energy such as solar energy. Some of the prominent companies which market the renewable energy are successful in recent years. Therefore, it is guaranteed that company Blastcom will also be successful in the future by providing renewable energy The outline: 1、the switch 不一定能circumvent the risky right now: 因为switch 需要时间， 2、even if switch能够规避风险，the researchers 也不一定能够have the ability to research the renewable energy technology, 如果employ new technical staff, that need increase cost 3、就算能够switch, the successful in recent years is not equal that energy are successful in the future 以上就是2012年1月1日更新的GMAT作文机经AA部分，考生可以适当借鉴，并通过练习来掌握GMAT作文的解题规律，从而顺利通过GMAT考试。 GMAT考试已于12月27日更换题库，以下是2011年12月的GMAT作文AA部分机经更新，更新日期从11年12月27日起至12年1月1日，目前共39题。 3. V1.surrender:第一篇说是校医院的quality比私人医院差。给的理由有校医院治愈率低，雇的人少，profit也少等等。然后说校医院的医生还要上课，做研究等(意思是减少了看病时间) V2. 杨yy:作文是ARGEMENT校医院不好的那个 V3. cicifish: 说的是university hospital和personal hospital的那个~说university hospital的员工比较少,工资比较低,成功率也比较低~而且那些university hospital的doctor都要回学校教学生做研究什么的,所以影响他们的工作. 考古： 原题: No.43 The following appeared in an article in the health section of a newspaper. “There is a common misconception that university hospitals are better than community or private hospitals. This notion is unfounded, however: the university hospitals in our region employ 15 percent fewer doctors, have a 20 percent lower success rate in treating patients, make far less overall profit, and pay their medical staff considerably less than do private hospitals. Furthermore, many doctors at university hospitals typically divide their time among teaching, conducting research, and treating patients. From this it seems clear that the quality of care at university hospitals is lower than that at other kinds of hospitals.” 有一种普遍的错误观念认为大学医院比社区或私人医院更好。这个想法是无根据的，我们地区的大学医院较之私人医院，少雇15%的医生，对患者的治愈率要低20%，总体利润要小得多，给一户员工的待遇比私人医院低很多。而且，很多大学医院的医生将他们的时间分为教学，直到研究和看病几部分。从此可明显看出大学医院的服务质量比其他医院低。 思路： * 从一个医院的情况就推广到整个太草率 * 治愈率低可能是因为接受的患者得的病都比较罕见等原因造成的 * 工资低，总体利润低，时间分配给教学都不能一定说明质量差。可能其他福利好，接受的病人少，教学研究有助于进步 范文： In this argument the author concludes that university hospitals provide no better care than private or community hospitals. The author bases this conclusion on the following claims about university hospitals: the ones in this region employ 15 percent fewer doctors; they have a 20 percent lower success rate in treating patients; they pay their staffs less money; they make less profit than community hospitals; and they utilize doctors who divide their time between teaching, research and treating patients. This argument is unconvincing for several reasons. The most egregious reasoning error in the argument is the author’s use of evidence pertaining to university hospitals in this region as the basis for a generalization about all university hospitals. The underlying assumption operative in this inference is that university hospitals in this region are representative of all university hospitals. No evidence is offered to support this gratuitous assumption. Secondly, the only relevant reason offered in support of the claim that the quality of care is lower in university hospitals than it is at other hospitals is the fact that university hospitals have a lower success rate in treating patients. But this reason is not sufficient to reach the conclusion in question unless it can be shown that the patients treated in both types of hospitals suffered from similar types of maladies. For example, if university hospitals routinely treat patients suffering from rare diseases whereas other hospitals treat only those who suffer from known diseases and illnesses, the difference in success rates would not be indicative of the quality of care received. Finally, the author assumes that the number of doctors a hospital employs, its success rate in treating patients, the amount it pays its staff, and the profits it earns are all reliable indicators of the quality of care it delivers. No evidence is offered to support this assumption nor is it obvious that any of these factors is linked to the quality of care delivered to patients. Moreover, the fact that doctors in university hospitals divide their time among many tasks fails to demonstrate that they do a poorer job of treating patients than doctors at other kinds of hospitals. In fact, it is highly likely that they do a better job because they are more knowledgeable than other doctors due to their teaching and research. In conclusion, the author’s argument is unconvincing. To strengthen the argument the author would have to demonstrate that university hospitals in this region are representative of all university hospitals, as well as establishing a causal link between the various factors cited and the quality of care delivered to patients. 以上就是2012年1月1日更新的GMAT作文机经AA部分，考生可以适当借鉴，并通过练习来掌握GMAT作文的解题规律，从而顺利通过GMAT考试。 GMAT考试已于12月27日更换题库，以下是2011年12月的GMAT作文AA部分机经更新，更新日期从11年12月27日起至12年1月1日，目前共39题。 4.williammba:那个Muscle Monthly 杂志上印健身运动员使用某健身器材照片，杂志很快售光，然后就有人建议新建的健身中心也应该使用这种器材，从而提高居民的身体素质。 考古： 原题：62. The following appeared in the letters-to-the-editor section of a local newspaper. “Muscle Monthly, a fitness magazine that regularly features pictures of bodybuilders using state-of-the-art exercise machines, frequently sells out, according to the owner of Skyview Newsstand. To help maximize fitness levels in our town’s residents, we should, therefore, equip our new community fitness center with such machines.” 思路： @ 志和健身中心的marketing strategy不同，不能简单apply杂志的经验，况且人们买杂志可能不是因为器材而是因为上面的运动员 @ 者将健身视为强身健体的途径，但其实慢跑、游泳等都可以强身健体，而且更便宜 @ 些健身器材的质量未经过检验，值得怀疑 #如果杂志卖光得快不一定是因为这个器材好，很可能是价钱便宜，和其他的内容。 #那些人很可能并不真正用这些机器，而只是摆出造型。 #如果是为了body-building的机器很可能不能fitness。比如，cardiovascular fitness。 *The bodybuilders may just pretend to be using the state-of-the-art exercise machines while, in fact, their excellent body conditions are due to the use of other types of equipment. And, they just do so for the advertisement purpose. *The circulation is just one of the indicators of the popularity of the magazine. What is more, I can find no direct relationship between the popularity of the magazine and the author’s suggestion that we should equip the community with the state-of-the-art excercise machine. *The machines for body building will not necessarily have the same effect on fitness. 范文： In this argument the author concludes that the new community fitness center should be equipped with the state-of-the-art exercise machines featured in Muscle Monthly magazine. In support of this recommendation two reasons are offered: (1) Muscle Monthly contains pictures of bodybuilders using such machines, and (2) Muscle Monthly is a popular magazine, as evidenced by the fact that it frequently sells out at the local newsstand. This argument is questionable on two counts. First, a major implication of the argument is that the bodybuilders pictured using the machines in Muscle Monthly magazine reached their state of fitness as a result of using these machines. The only evidence offered to support this contention, however, is the pictures in the magazine. It is possible that the bodybuilders pictured use different equipment for their workouts and are merely posing with the machines for advertising purposes. Second, the author assumes that machines that are suitable for bodybuilding will also be suitable to help maximize the fitness levels of the town’s residents. This assumption is highly questionable. Machines designed to increase muscle development are significantly different from those designed to increase cardiovascular fitness. Consequently, it is unlikely that the machines pictured in the magazine will be of much use to help maximize the fitness levels of the town’s residents. In conclusion, this argument is unconvincing. To strengthen the argument the author would have to show that the bodybuilders pictured using the exercise machines actually used the machines to reach their level of muscle development. Additionally, the author would have to show that the machines were suitable for increasing the fitness levels of the persons using them. 以上就是2012年1月1日更新的GMAT作文机经AA部分，考生可以适当借鉴，并通过练习来掌握GMAT作文的解题规律，从而顺利通过GMAT考试。 GMAT考试已于12月27日更换题库，以下是2011年12月的GMAT作文AA部分机经更新，更新日期从11年12月27日起至12年1月1日，目前共39题。 5. V1.Hutaru:某厂商经理决定streamling他家的生产线来提高利润。该厂有luxury摩托车和standard摩托车各一条生产线production line，共2条。luxury摩托车的生产线产量特别少，因为luxury摩托车的部分生产需要由手工完成，而相比较standard摩托车的生产线是 自动化批量生产，生产数量巨多。该经理认为，如果将luxury摩托车的生产线转换为第二条standard摩托车的生产线，厂子“生产”的摩托车数量就 会激增，因此“利润”也会增加。 V2. 灰扑扑：streamling luxury摩托车的那个 前面机经有写 6.adam1111111111:AA是OLYMPIC FOODS的那一题 考古： 原题：No.1 The following appeared as part of an annual report sent to stockholders by Olympic Foods, a processor of frozen foods. “Over time, the costs of processing go down because as organizations learn how to do things better, they become more efficient. In color film processing, for example, the cost of a 3-by-5-inch print fell from 50 cents for five-day service in 1970 to 20 cents for one-day service in 1984. The same principle applies to the processing of food. And since Olympic Foods will soon celebrate its twenty-fifth birthday, we can expect that our long experience will enable us to minimize costs and thus maximize profits.” 思路： *false analogy: The food industry is not analogous to the color film industry. *causal oversimplification: Other factors that may contribute t to the cost decline of the printing cost should be considered and ruled out. *gratuitous assumption: The conclusion of the argument is based on a gratuitous assumption that the company can minimize cost and maximize profit because the company has been conducted for 25 years. # 错误类比：color film processing和processing of food不相同。problems of spoilage, contamination, and timely transportation都只影响food 不影响film. # 同时，忽略他因。是否是因为组织更有效率才使COST下降的?很可能是material necessary for the process下降了价钱。所以，两者更不同。 # gratuitous assumption：二十五年不代表学到了很多。很可能什么都没学到，或者技术已经out of date. 范文： Citing facts drawn from the color-film processing industry that indicate a downward trend in the costs of film processing over a 24-year period, the author argues that Olympic Foods will likewise be able to minimize costs and thus maximize profits in the future. In support of this conclusion the author cites the general principle that “as organizations learn how to do things better, they become more efficient.” This principle, coupled with the fact that Olympic Foods has had 25 years of experience in the food processing industry leads to the author’s rosy prediction. This argument is unconvincing because it suffers from two critical flaws. First, the author’s forecast of minimal costs and maximum profits rests on the gratuitous assumption that Olympic Foods’ “long experience” has taught it how to do things better. There is, however, no guarantee that this is the case. Nor does the author cite any evidence to support this assumption. Just as likely, Olympic Foods has learned nothing from its 25 years in the food-processing business. Lacking this assumption, the expectation of increased efficiency is entirely unfounded. Second, it is highly doubtful that the facts drawn from the color-film processing industry are applicable to the food processing industry. Differences between the two industries clearly outweigh the similarities, thus making the analogy highly less than valid. For example, problems of spoilage, contamination, and timely transportation all affect the food industry but are virtually absent in the film-processing industry. Problems such as these might present insurmountable obstacles that prevent lowering food-processing costs in the future. As it stands the author’s argument is not compelling. To strengthen the conclusion that Olympic Foods will enjoy minimal costs and maximum profits in the future, the author would have to provide evidence that the company has learned how to do things better as a result of its 25 years of experience. Supporting examples drawn from industries more similar to the food-processing industry would further substantiate the author’s view. 以上就是2012年1月1日更新的GMAT作文机经AA部分，考生可以适当借鉴，并通过练习来掌握GMAT作文的解题规律，从而顺利通过GMAT考试。 GMAT考试已于12月27日更换题库，以下是2011年12月的GMAT作文AA部分机经更新，更新日期从11年12月27日起至12年1月1日，目前共39题。 7.Jean0113:argument是考有个manager 因为游泳池新开，带来center使用的上升，决定新开很多别的设施。。jj里有 考古： 原题：108. The following appeared as part of a business plan created by the management of the Take Heart Fitness Center. “After opening the new swimming pool early last summer, Take Heart saw a 12 percent increase in the use of the center by members. Therefore, in order to increase the number of our members and thus our revenues, which depend on membership fees, we should continue to add new recreational facilities in subsequent years: for example, a multipurpose game room, a tennis court, and a miniature golf course. Being the only center in the area offering this range of activities would give us a competitive advantage in the health and recreation market.” 提供观点： 1. 忽略他因。 2. 错误类比。 3. 收入和支出 1. causal oversimplification 2. a benefit-cost analysis should be given 3. Whether the proposed recreational facilities are popular among the people of this area is unknown. 8.V1.咖喱liujia:AA是讲一个公司叫Capital Idea Investment firm,说一个district有一个Theater，一个Pizza店，一个Golf Club，这三个店在过去的两年都有business increase，于是这个公司想在另一个district投资也开一个Theater(题里这个用的是Playhouse)，一个Pizza店和一个 Golf Club，说这样一定也会盈利;同时还准备实施一个special program，就是说customer who patronizes at two businesses of these three can get discount at the third one, 这样就可以促进这三个店的profit并且maximize their return. V2. leaveyoung:AA, 说一投资公司看到一个district 的三种Business : theater, Pizza, Club 在过去的三年里都有了很好的业务增长，于是投资公司计划在另一个区 也做类似的业务，说也能够获得同样的回报与增长。其中还列出了几个如何刺激顾客消费的方法。 考古： 原题：No. 125 The following appeared as part of the business plan of the Capital Idea investment firm. “Across town in the Park Hill district, the Thespian Theater, Pizzazz Pizza, and the Niblick Golf Club have all had business increases within the past two years. Capital Idea should therefore invest in the Roxy Playhouse, the Slice-o’-Pizza, and the Divot Golf Club, three new businesses in the Irongate district. As a condition, we should require them to participate in a special program: Any customer who patronizes two of the businesses will receive a substantial discount at the third. By motivating customers to patronize all three, we will thus contribute to the profitability of each and maximize our return.” Capital Idea投资公司的商业计划： 在ParkHill区的Thespian剧院，Pizzazz比萨，Niblick高尔夫俱乐部在过去2年都有业务增长。因此Capital Idea应该投资Poxy剧场，Slic-o比萨和Divot高尔夫俱乐部这3家新的Irongate区的企业。为使他们达到条件，我们应该要求他们参加特殊的项目：任何顾客在其中两家消费将在第三家得到折扣。通过刺激顾客在所有3家店消费，我们将增进每一家的利润，从而使我们的回报大化。 思路： @ 过去的营业额增长不代表在另一个district开三家店生意能够好，区域之间可能存在差异，错误的类比 @ 推理不充分，这种折扣政策能保证三家店的每一家都盈利么?会不会某一家店承担了过多的折扣? # The author commits a fallacy of false analogy. # Therefore the proposal of investment in the Irongate district is groundless. No investment should be made until other factors have been considered and the benefit-cost analysis has been made. # The program suggested by the author is reckless or even ridiculous. The possible result can be the opposite of the author’s imagination because the consumers have interest of only one or two of the three stores. * The business increases occurred in the past two years. No one can guarantee the future profit. * The three new companies are not necessarily analogous to those profitable ones. * The condition that is required is absurd. There is no causal relationship between the condition and the collective profit. 以上就是2012年1月1日更新的GMAT作文机经AA部分，考生可以适当借鉴，并通过练习来掌握GMAT作文的解题规律，从而顺利通过GMAT考试。 GMAT考试已于12月27日更换题库，以下是2011年12月的GMAT作文AA部分机经更新，更新日期从11年12月27日起至12年1月1日，目前共39题。 9.wangeshang700：aa：找到了考古的原题： 原题：106.The following appeared as part of a business plan by the Capital Idea Investment firm. “Currently more and more books are becoming available in electronic form — either free of charge on the Internet or for a very low price per book on CD-ROM.* People who would not pay bookstore prices will now have access to whatever book they want from their home or work computers. Consequently, literary classics are likely to be read more widely than ever before: 72 percent of those responding to a recent online survey said they would read books in electronic form, and 81 percent said they believed that reading classic works was important. Given this newly developing market, we should invest in E-Classics, a new company that sells electronic versions of literary classics.” 10. V1.f430spider:AA考的是Easy credit card company。 the executive suggests to donate half of the proceeds to a well-known environment organization, since a recent survey suggests that the public concerns about the environment issue.

V2. jenniferlele :A Easy Credit Card Company 认为如果用了某well-known enviornmental organization ’s symbol or logo在他们的credit card上会对公司未来发张有advantage. 因为根据一个调查显示大部分人都关心环境问题，所以此举可以attract new customers, 还enables company to charge a higher interest to the lowest one.

The following appeared as part of a plan proposed by an executive of the Easy Credit Company to the president. “The Easy Credit Company would gain an advantage over competing credit card services if we were to donate a portion of the proceeds from the use of our cards to a well-known environmental organization in exchange for the use of its symbol or logo on our card. Since a recent poll shows that a large percentage of the public is concerned about environmental issues, this policy would attract new customers, increase use among existing customers, and enable us to charge interest rates that are higher than the lowest ones available.” 范文：In this argument the author concludes that the Easy Credit Company would gain several advantages over its competitors by donating a portion of its profits to a well-known environmental organization in exchange for the use of the organization’s logo on their credit card. The author reaches this conclusion on the basis of a recent poll that shows widespread public concern about environmental issues. Among the advantages of this policy, the author foresees an increase in credit card use by existing customers, the ability to charge higher interest rates, and the ability to attract new customers. While the author’s argument has some merit, it suffers from two critical problems. To begin with, the author assumes that the environmental organization whose logo is sought is concerned with the same environmental issues about which the poll shows widespread concern. However, the author provides no evidence that this is the case. It is possible that very few credit-card users are concerned about the issues that are the organization’s areas of concern; if so, then it is unlikely that the organization’s logo would attract much business for the Easy Credit Company. Next, the author assumes that the public’s concern about environmental issues will result in its taking steps to do something about the problem—in this case, to use the Easy Credit Company credit card. This assumption is unsupported and runs contrary to experience. Also, it is more reasonable to assume that people who are concerned about a particular cause will choose a more direct means of expressing their concern. In conclusion, the author’s argument is unconvincing as it stands. To strengthen the argument, the author must show a positive link between the environmental issues about which the public has expressed concern and the issues with which this particular environmental organization is concerned. In addition, the author must provide evidence to support the assumption that concern about a problem will cause people to do something about the problem. 以上就是2012年1月1日更新的GMAT作文机经AA部分，考生可以适当借鉴，并通过练习来掌握GMAT作文的解题规律，从而顺利通过GMAT考试。 GMAT考试已于12月27日更换题库，以下是2011年12月的GMAT作文AA部分机经更新，更新日期从11年12月27日起至12年1月1日，目前共39题。 11.

V2. a0684925 :考那个Oak city跟Elm city盖mall的那个，上个月JJ原题 V3. sonntac: OAK CITY开了个Mall，导致了很多问题，所以有建议ELM CITY需要慎重考虑开Mall的提议，好直接拒掉。 考古： 原题：No. 52 The following editorial appeared in the Elm City paper. “The construction last year of a shopping mall in downtown Oak City was a mistake. Since the mall has opened, a number of local businesses have closed, and the downtown area suffers from an acute parking shortage, and arrests for crime and vagrancy have increased in the nearby Oak City Park. Elm City should pay attention to the example of the Oak City mall and deny the application to build a shopping mall in Elm City.” 思路： # 作者所给出的所有问题和商场的建设都是时间上的前后关系而没有给出证据显示他们的因果关系 # 作者只给出了不好的结果而没有给出好的影响很可能权衡利弊之后被选择的是要开这个商场 # 这个商场的建立不应该也不能由此就否定以后所有的商场的建立 * To begin with, the author fails to establish the causal relationship between the shopping mall’s opening and the closing of local businesses. * Moreover, the author’s conclusion is also based on the assumption that the shopping mall has caused the increase in crime and vagrancy. * Finally, even if the shopping mall did cause the closing of local business and the increasing crime and vagrancy in Oak City, the author’s prediction that Elm City will suffer from the same fate as Oak City is still open to doubt. 范文： (此文根据老题写作)In this editorial the author rebukes Oak City for allowing the construction of a new downtown shopping mall. Citing a number of problems that have occurred since the building of the mail, the author concludes that the residents of Oak City have not benefited from the mail and that Oak City exercised poor judgment in allowing the mail to be built. Among the problems cited by the author are the closure of local businesses, lack of parking in the downtown area, and increased trash and litter in a city park near the mall. Moreover, the author argues that profits derived from sales are not benefiting Oak City because the owner of the mall lives in another city. The author’s argument is problematic in several respects. In the first place, the author assumes that addition of the new mall is the cause of the various problems cited. The only evidence offered to support this claim is that the construction of the mall occurred before these problems manifested themselves. However, this evidence is insufficient to establish the claim in question. A chronological relationship is only one of the indicators of a causal relationship between two events. In the second place, the author has focused only on negative effects the mall has had on the city. A more detailed analysis of the situation might reveal that the positive benefits for the city far outweigh the problems on which the author focuses. For example, new jobs might have been created for the residents of Oak City, and tax revenues might have been increased for the city. Lacking a more comprehensive analysis of the impact of the mail on Oak City, it is presumptuous on the part of the author to conclude that Oak City’s decision to allow the mall to be built was incorrect. In conclusion, the author’s argument is unconvincing. To strengthen the argument the author would have to demonstrate that the construction of the mall caused the various problems mentioned. The author would also have to show that the negative effects of the project outweighed the positive effects. 以上就是2012年1月1日更新的GMAT作文机经AA部分，考生可以适当借鉴，并通过练习来掌握GMAT作文的解题规律，从而顺利通过GMAT考试。 GMAT考试已于12月27日更换题库，以下是2011年12月的GMAT作文AA部分机经更新，更新日期从11年12月27日起至12年1月1日，目前共39题。 12. v1.xalyan:Two years ago, George 开了一家restaurant，这家餐厅卖的是sandwishes(这个不是重点)，这家餐厅的地理位置比较好，附近有很多学校，所以会有很多的学生经 常来光顾，所以这家餐厅后转了很多钱。然后George打算在附近的towns and cities再open three new restaurants，并且plan to promote some employees in the old one to be managers at the three new restaurants. 后he expects the profits he will gain will triple.

To take advantage of this trend, we should reduce the size of our clothing departments and enlarge our home furnishings and household products departments. 一.过去的情况不代表将来 二.同时发生不代表因果关系 the decrease in profits of clothing department andthe increase in profits of household products department 三.推理错误(必要性)reduced the size of clothing department不是途径 establish a new shopping mall only sell the household products v2. superlichao : ocal clothing products department 的profits在一段时间里 decrease ，然而products of household department在同一时间里的profits却increase了，所以一家manager就想reduce the products of clothing department size and expand the products of furniture and household department size.(manager：当地卖衣服的部门利润降低，但是家用商品的利润上升，所以要把我们的公司衣服部门缩小，家用商品部门范围增加) 考古： 原题：72. The following appeared as part of a recommendation from the business manager of a department store. “Local clothing stores reported that their profits decreased, on average, for the three-month period between August 1 and October 31. Stores that sell products for the home reported that, on average, their profits increased during this same period. Clearly, consumers are choosing to buy products for their homes instead of clothing. To take advantage of this trend, we should reduce the size of our clothing departments and enlarge our home furnishings and household products departments.” 思路： * 衣帽部利润↓和家具部利润↑同时发生但不一定有必然联系 * 三个月的时间太短不能用来得出结论 * 过去的趋势不一定能保证未来走向 * 样本不具有代表性 # A period of three month is too short to draw a general conclusion of the overall trend. # The past three months’ trend does not guarantee the same in the future. # Whether the reports from the local clothing stores and stores that sell products for the home are reliable or not are still open to doubt, thus making the author’s suggestion groundless. 范文： Based upon sales reports over a three-month period that indicate an increase in profits for stores that sell products for the home and a decrease in profits for clothing stores, the business manager of a department store concludes that consumers are choosing to purchase home furnishings rather than clothing. On the basis of this conclusion, the manager recommends a reduction in the size of the clothing department and an increase in the size of the home-furnishings department. This recommendation is problematic in two critical respects. In the first place, the author’s conclusion that consumers are choosing to buy products for their homes instead of clothing is based upon too small a sample. Data gathered from a three-month period is insufficient to establish the conclusion drawn from it. It is quite possible that the three-month period chosen is idiosyncratic and not representative of entire year’s sales. If so, reducing the size of the clothing departments and enlarging the home-furnishings departments may be a costly mistake. In the second place, the data collected during the three month period may be biased. The fact that the data reflects sales in local stores is cause for concern. It is possible that the sales trend in a particular location is not representative of sales in other regions. For example, sales of clothing in Florida during the winter months are likely to be quite different from sales of clothing in Alaska during the same period. In conclusion, this argument is not persuasive as it stands. A more convincing argument must provide additional sales data, collected at different periods of the year and at different locations, that substantiates the trend in question. 以上就是2012年1月1日更新的GMAT作文机经AA部分，考生可以适当借鉴，并通过练习来掌握GMAT作文的解题规律，从而顺利通过GMAT考试。 GMAT考试已于12月27日更换题库，以下是2011年12月的GMAT作文AA部分机经更新，更新日期从11年12月27日起至12年1月1日，目前共39题。 14.onlylee0302放一只AA新狗狗。The employers have rights to prohibit the unhealthy behaviors of employees 不管是在工作时间还是其他时间。 15. v1.irisshao:说Provincia Airline这家航空公司的一个分析师给他们的CEO建议说：“去年的燃料油价格上涨了不少，而去年我们也增加了两部新的flights。去年我们公司 的盈利降低了不少。盈利降低应该不是因为油价上涨，因为其他航空公司也同样面临油价上涨，但他们中有一些也盈利上升了。所以问题一定出在新增加的那两架 flights身上，建议今年把它们全部取消。” v2. ashley0707: 一家叫Provincia的航空公司 今年油价上涨 导致飞机运营成本上涨，这家P公司又增加了航线 发现利润降低而又发现同行业的公司并没有因为油价上涨而导致利润下跌，P公司认为是新增的航线才导致的利润下跌 所以要停止新航线来挽回利润损失 v3. kiki070300123一个p飞机公司，利润降低20%，究其原因有两个，一个是石油价格上涨，而是新增加5条航线。然而，analyst认为石油不能作为主要原因，因为有些航线也面临石油上涨但是利润也上涨了，所以应该eliminate new flights的使用 v4. ashley0707 : 一家叫Provincia的航空公司 今年油价上涨 导致飞机运营成本上涨，这家P公司又增加了航线 发现利润降低而又发现同行业的公司并没有因为油价上涨而导致利润下跌 P公司认为是新增的航线才导致的利润下跌 所以要停止新航线来挽回利润损失 考古： V1: 某航空公司发现，上个季profits减少了20%。写报告的人认为是燃油涨价造成的。但是他又提到，别的航空公司也面临燃油贵的问题，但仍然有公司是improve profits.所以他后的结论就是，因为我们公司增加了新的flight, 所以燃油cost更多。为了improve profit，公司应该eliminate the new flights we added the ealier year. V2某个航空公司去年利润下降，他们就认为原因肯定是因为油价上涨和新开了航线中的至少一个，而去年所有的公司都经历了油价上涨，但仍然有公司盈利，所以油价肯定不是利润减少的原因。因此，公司把新开的航线关闭了就可以提高利润。 V3好像是机经里的，什么有一个Provincia Airlines，profits下降了，CEO觉得是油价上涨或者是new flights added导致的。他又发现其他airlines虽然也面临油价上涨问题，但是仍然有航线的利润是上升的，因此他得出结论应当是new flights added导致了利润下降，认为应该减少flights added。 V4一个航空公司去年的利润降低了。然后是因为油价的上升，导致了燃油费用上升。然后P航空公司增加了航班，结果导致了利润降低。然而其他航空公司也面临着油价上升，但有些却从中盈利了。所以说是因为增设了航班导致了公司利润降低。所以应该在今年年初把新设的航班eliminate。 V5.是“Provinca(一个航空公司的名字大概这么拼) 去年的的profit 减少了，然后公司认为有2个原因1. Oil price increases 2. Add a new flight operations. 因为Oil Price 对于所有其他的航空公司也上升，但是其他的一些航空公司却还是有increase their profit. 所以这不是原因， 那就只能是因为the new addedflight operation造成的.所以公司建议关掉这个operations. V6. JJ里说航空公司利润下降20%是因为新加了5个flights的原因 我给的错误是一个是其他原因导致，就是除了他说的2个还有非常有可能其他原因，举例是 a well-known litigation with customers 或者 seriousflight accident happened last year 影响了reputation of thecompany. 第二个是说错误类比，其他公司盈利可能是因为其他原因比如更好的policy to handle the increasing oil price, while this company do notuse. V7某个航空公司去年利润下降，他们就认为原因肯定是因为油价上涨和新开了航线中的至少一个，而去年所有的公司都经历了油价上涨，但仍然有公司盈利，所以油价肯定不是利润减少的原因。因此，公司把新开的航线关闭了就可以提高利润。 zelda爱star提供的观点 1.FA。每家公司都是不一样的，那个什么other airplane可能飞机比较小，耗油比较少 2.不仅仅只有这两个原因，可能本身P的管理成本有上升。 3.别的airline可能由于别的原因导致油价的上涨并不影响其profit 比如提供discount tickets. 4即使P停止，也不一定利润上升。 思路：1.可能还有其他原因导致利润下跌而非仅仅因为新航线。比如公司人力成本之类的上涨 2.停止新航线不能挽回利润损失，甚至导致前期投入全部作废，损失更大 3.其他公司没有因为油价上涨而导致利润下降不代表对本公司也是同样情况，可能其他公司技术先进省油神马的~~~ 以上就是2012年1月1日更新的GMAT作文机经AA部分，考生可以适当借鉴，并通过练习来掌握GMAT作文的解题规律，从而顺利通过GMAT考试。
